Search Ladies Sorting by Last Activity

[achn3p]

I think it would be nice if Eccie's search ladies page would allow sorting ascending/descending the ladies based on various parameters such as user_registered_date and user_last_active. Probably the latter would be the most useful. If there's a way to do this already, I am sorry (& I would appreciate if someone could link/share it) but I tried my best to figure this out on the page but didn't find a way to do so.

This would be a really cool feature.

This can be done from the Member List link, see below:

In the Main Menu box, which is usually on the right but sometimes on the left, towards the middle there is a link called "Member List". Click that and on that page, to the right of the solid blue box that reads "ECCIE Worldwide: Members List" there is a little drop down menu that says "Search Members", click that and a new search box will open with a link at the bottom that says "Advanced Search". On that page there are a bunch of fields you can enter but you only want to fill in the Location field, select Female for gender and then scroll to the bottom of the page and select Last Visit for the Order Results by dropdown and also change the dropdown to the right of it to In Descending Order. Now just hit the Search Now button that is just below the dropdowns you just changed and... order by last activity. You won't know where the list of members changes from On to off (I think that may be set to remain green (online) for a specific amount of time after the last activity but I am just guessing on that. In any case, you can open a few of the members and see when their last activity was and you'll have a good sense of who is active.

If you want to refresh that information you don't have to page back and do all the stuff above over again. Instead just click on the Last Visit link at the top of the list and it will refresh.

@rf3482, I was aware of that however that is not perfect. The search location has to be contained within the profile's location field for that profile to be returned for search. I assume the city vs location field are two different database columns and search ladies' classification of cities probably uses a different field in the system. Also, going through advanced search is multi-step process. Having that ability in search ladies significantly enhances user experience, imo.

@achn3p, I agree with you, search ladies functionality like what you describe would be very nice to have. I know it would have definitely been one of the main functions I'd have used in my earliest, germinal days as an eccie user.

I should have clarified in my original response to your thread that the Member List lookup method I cobbled together is at best a partial, makeshift solution to the issue at hand. It is limited and cumbersome to be sure, but, for the time being at least, it is the only way to pull and organize some of the data that's useful for the Ladies Searches desired (that I am aware of).

And I echo your and @random brown man's call for a dedicated search ladies page sorting functionality.

Until then, just look at their profile for last activity as you read their pertinent info.
